Mutt

i've been thinking about using Mutt for mail cuz i wanna switch to a console mail client and i've heard that mutt is the best

but i got some questions first:
1) how the hell do i set up multiple POP3 mailaccounts with it?
2) i don't have sendmail or any of that crap installed on my system. i need to use an outgoing SMTP server from my ISP to send mails. how would i set that up in mutt if it's possible?

edit: yes i've looked at the documentation, but i think that the muttrc style is just horrible and unclear

Re: Mutt

Mutt is only a mail client, not a mail transport agent (MTA). *You must use something like sendmail or qmail to work with Mutt.

If you want a solid, easy to use console mail program that works well with POP3 and is self contained, try Pine. *That is what I use. *The configuration is very simple, and Pine has a lot of nice features. *Plus, you get the Pico editor with Pine for composing messages, and Pico is great for that task.

Re: Mutt

i'm such an idiot
i spent all this time trying to get my second pop3 account to work with mutt (which didn't btw), and i just now realized that i could just let my yahoo mail be forwarded to my primary pop3 account
